1.
Function
rigid outer structure that supports & shapes plant cells
2.
small packages of materials, usu. proteins; used to carry materials in/out cell
3.
controls what enters & exits the cell
4.
internal structure that gives the cell its shape
5.
stores genetic material; controls the cell’s activities
6.
network of passages that transports materials throughout the cell
7.
fluid that holds organelles in place; contains water & ions
8.
holds digestive enzymes to break apart polymers, worn cell parts & wastes
9.
stores water, waste, nutrients; large in plant cells
10.
assembles proteins
11.
packages & prepares proteins/lipids for transport
12.
converts glucose to cell’s energy, ATP
13.
structures that help with cell division
14.
used by plants to make glucose
Which organelle has malfunctioned? Use the word bank to match to the malfunction. Terms may be repeated.
Organelle
15.
Malfunction
enzymes & chemical messengers won’t be ready to be used
16.
multicellular organisms can’t grow when they can’t make new cells (2)
17.
organism won’t have energy to perform everyday functions
18.
organism would have to constantly eat
19.
plant would not be able to stand up
20.
organism won’t have traits
21.
organism can’t grow because existing cells won’t know how to make new cells
22.
organism can’t make chemical reactions because cell won’t get monomers, O2, water, ions
23.
organism won’t be able to break down food it eats
24.
plants can’t make food & will starve
25.
organism won’t be able to send/receive chemical messages w/in its body
26.
organism won’t be able to make chemical messages
27.
proteins & lipids won’t know where to go after they are made
28.
organism won’t have a distinct body shape
29.
organism can’t use the secretions it makes because they’re stuck in the cell
30.
organism can’t make enzymes to speed up chemical reactions
31.
chemical reactions can’t take place
32.
new cells won’t be made correctly
33.
interior of plants won’t have protection from environment
34.
organism can’t defend itself from diseases because it can’t build immunity
35.
organism won’t be able to break down waste materials
36.
organism will be poisoned because cell can’t move out CO2 & wastes
